Chapter 391 Shazhou is initially decided to be surrounded by two tigers
After persuading the Dingxi army headed by the Murong family, Lin Yifan immediately promised to support them with a batch of supplies and weapons in exchange for them joining the imperial court to ask Lin Yifan to be the shepherd of Shazhou, in charge of the military and administration, and guarding the northwest.As for whether the Cao family and his son, who control the court, are willing or not, it doesn't matter anymore.With the righteous name of Yidai Edict, Lin Yifan could completely act on his own. Anyway, the emperor was controlled by the Cao family, and the so-called imperial edicts from the imperial court were no longer authoritative.

On the fifth day, news came from Tianmen Pass that the Eternal Army stood firm at Tianmen Pass for a day, and after delaying the time for the army, they announced their recovery. So far, the Eternal Army invaded and failed completely, and Shazhou returned to the Central Plains.

At the same time, the Dingxi Army headed by Murong Kang set off to the west of Tianmen Pass to assist the Hengshan Army in capturing the eastern part of the Western Regions and establishing the territory of Xizhou.

Lin Yifan, who had been staying in Dingxi City for a long time, was very busy at the moment, and various matters to appease the people's livelihood and restore order were very complicated.At the time of the expedition, only [-] troops came, and there was an extreme lack of civil servants for administrative management.As a last resort, he had to temporarily exercise military control, and recruit the remaining officials from among the people for promotion and reuse.A letter has already passed through the pigeons, detailing the results of the Shazhou battle and the strategy for Shazhou to the Hengshan Executive Yuan, asking them to immediately dispatch a group of officials to Shazhou to preside over the post-war reconstruction.

At the same time, Lin Yifan also received a lot of information from various places in order to keep abreast of the world situation.Now it is the end of November, and the war in the Central Plains has not subsided, but has become more intense.Because of the coming of cold winter, amidst the drought, the people who were forced by famine and whose families were ruined rose up one after another, so that now, in several states in the hinterland of the Central Plains, refugees are everywhere, and the strength of the rebel army is constantly growing.The imperial army was exhausted and suppressed the thieves everywhere, but they were inexhaustible in the end, and soon they were revived.

And the heroes in the surrounding area are also having a hard time. After Yang Mingyuan of Mingzhou took Jiangbei County, his ambitions swelled for a while, and he wanted to win the capital in one fell swoop. People have to face each other across the river, rest and recuperate temporarily, and wait for the future.

Qi Rui in Yanzhou can be said to have the right place and the right people at this time, but after all, he is too cautious. Facing Qingzhou, which is now in civil strife, he still refuses to speak.However, Lin Yifan appreciated this quite a bit, because Qingzhou was also a hard-hit area. If Qi Rui seized Qingzhou at this time, he would inevitably bear the heavy burden of thousands of people in Qingzhou waiting to be fed. Although Yanzhou was less affected by the disaster this time, it was also Unable to feed such a huge population, once caught in the quagmire of civil unrest in Qingzhou, it will only waste Yanzhou's strength in vain.

And Li Yuan of Huazhou, after paying a huge price, finally fully occupied the entire Huazhou, but the weak Li family army had to face the intensified civil strife.More importantly, Li Yuan seemed to be seriously ill, and most of his internal and external affairs were handled by the family heirs and cronies, and he did not show up for a long time.

On the prairie, the war between the Golden Wolf Man and the Donghu finally came to an end. Bigger, a rising prairie power has risen.

For this information, Lin Yifan approved one by one, and forwarded it to the Hengshan Executive Yuan, asking it to discuss a charter and take measures to deal with the current situation.

However, the information about the Tianyun Kingdom had to attract Lin Yifan's attention. The Tianyun Army has now assembled more than half of its troops on the front line of Leizhou, adopting a high-pressure posture against Leizhou, forcing the Leizhou Army to be immobilized and unable to assist the court to suppress the war.But recently, the soldiers and horses on the front line of Leizhou suddenly changed, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses disappeared out of thin air.And the Tianyun court suddenly became tense, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the court to discuss, and it seemed that there was a conspiracy.

Regarding this, Lin Yifan thought of two possibilities. After Tianyun Kingdom learned of the Eternal Army's invasion of Shazhou, it must be unable to hold back and would definitely intervene.Otherwise, once the Eternal Army successfully occupies Shazhou, it will put enormous pressure on the Tianyun North Territory.Therefore, the Tianyun Army must gather a large army to go north, and while the Eternal Army and the Dingxi Army are fighting, they can cut off the back of the Eternal Army and completely annihilate them in Shazhou.Or it is to cross the Xuelong Mountains, break into the eternal hinterland, break its foundation, and feel the shame of the past.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yifan felt that the chance of the Tianyun Army going north was higher. The terrain in the Eternal Kingdom was steep and the weather was bad. In addition, it was the cold winter season, so it would be unwise to send troops to the plateau.If you go north, as long as the Eternal Army in Shazhou is wiped out, the strength of the Eternal Kingdom will probably be reduced by more than half, and even the Eternal God Emperor may die here. In this way, the Eternal Kingdom will be in chaos. The cloud army only needs to wait for the next year, and then they can raise their troops westward and destroy Eternity.

Thinking of this, Lin Yifan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately dispatched troops to various checkpoints in the south of Shazhou to hand over the defense with the Dingxi Army stationed here. From now on, the important task of defending the Tianyun Empire will be handed over to the Hengshan Army.At the same time, send a team of envoys to Tianyun to announce the ownership of Shazhou.

In the next ten days, after capturing Tianmen Pass, Hou Mingfeng led the army and went west with [-] Dingxi troops, pushing all the way, and there was almost no place to resist.The Eternal Army was eager to retreat to the plateau, and had no intention of defending the Western Regions. So far, dozens of cities in the eastern part of the Western Regions have been occupied by the army.

At this time, in the eastern part of the Western Regions, there were no more than one out of ten common people, and there were only tens of thousands of people who managed to gather together.After Hou Mingfeng received Lin Yifan's instructions, he immediately made the largest city in the east, Baiyan City, the capital of the newly established Western Province, and divided the eastern land into five counties.Afterwards, Hou Mingfeng handed over the jurisdiction of this place to the Dingxi Army, and stationed [-] soldiers to assist the Dingxi Army in fighting the enemy, and also served as hostages. Only with these [-] soldiers and horses can the Dingxi Army believe that the Hengshan Army will not abandon Dingxi The army ignored it and sat back and watched it be destroyed by the Xijin werewolves.Because they knew that the Hengshan Army would never sit back and watch [-] Hengshan soldiers be in danger.

After handing over the power of Xizhou, Hou Mingfeng immediately led the army back to Shazhou.Because in Lin Yifan's letter, the movement of the Tianyun Army has already been mentioned.He is very clear that Shazhou at this time is no different from a piece of fat, and at least two powerful enemies are already eyeing it.They don't understand the strength of the Hengshan Army, and they won't give up easily without a fight, the war is far from over.

After Hou Mingfeng led his army back to Dingxi City, a group of civil servants from Hengshan also came.The leader of the team this time is Chen Dengke. Because of his familiarity with Shazhou, he is the undisputed candidate. He is also accompanied by Jin Jiuyuan, who is also the best choice.

Lin Yifan immediately convened a Shazhou meeting, and appointed Chen Dengke as the appeasement envoy in the capacity of Shazhou pastor to take charge of the civil affairs of Shazhou, and Jin Jiuyuan as the deputy, in charge of post-war reconstruction.The rest were awarded official positions and went to serve in various places.At the same time, Hou Mingfeng was appointed as the garrison envoy of Shazhou to lead the army to sit in Shazhou.Shi Shouyi was the general guarding Tianmen Gate, and Luo Feng was the general of the cavalry, commanding [-] cavalry to be stationed in Shazhou in case of unexpected events.Xiao Changying is the commander of the Shazhou New Army and guards Dingxi City.There is also Xiong Feng, who was found after the war. He made great contributions to burning the Eternal Army's food and grass. Lin Yifan specially rewarded him and specially appointed him to form a mercenary to go to the Western Regions to carry out secret missions.

After arranging the personnel orders in Shazhou, Lin Yifan set off for Hengshan.It was already December, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in Hengshan.As for Shazhou, he firmly believed that with an army of tens of thousands sitting in the town, the Tianyun Kingdom would not dare to act rashly.And the Western Golden Werewolf will become a stumbling block blocking the smooth passage of the long corridor, and only by beating him hard can he be forced to open the gate of the Western Regions.When he returns to Hengshan this time, he will personally preside over the battle plan against the Xijin werewolves.

Now the Central Plains is in chaos, forces of all sizes are intertwined, people are displaced, hungry people are everywhere, Hengshan is temporarily powerless and unwilling to intervene, stirring up the quagmire of war.If Hengshan moves, it will definitely affect the whole body, arouse the fear of the major forces, and thus destroy the current fragile balance relationship, which will definitely affect the business interests of Hengshan and the major forces.Therefore, for the current plan, only by moving westward and opening up trade exchanges along long corridors and ancient roads can the vitality of Hengshan's business and trade be activated, and it can also get rid of its dependence on major forces, thereby reducing many constraints.

 One after another war, am I writing too much war and ignoring development?
